Marco Landucci, head coach for the day, spoke about the game against Parma just a few minutes ago and warned that it will be tough for the Rossoneri.
Since Massimiliano Allegri is serving a one-game ban today, his trusted assistant Landucci will be in charge of Milan from the dugout. It’s not a bad ‘interim’ coach to have, as the 61-year-old has won four out of four games this season.

Speaking to Sky Italia just a few minutes ago, as transcribed by MilanNews, Landucci shared his thoughts on the clash. He warned that it will be a tough game, although Leao is in better condition than last time out.
Why does Modric still excite us?
“Aside from being a great player, he’s also a person with humility and a great desire to succeed. He deserves everything he has had and will have in the future.”
Inter won, Napoli and Juve didn’t. Are you looking up or down?
“We cannot look at anyone else, we have to go our own way. Today is a tough match. We have to have our usual attitude and in the end, we will see where we have got to.”
How is Leao?
“He’s better, and if he plays, it means he can do it. We think he can play that position very well and he has already scored eight goals. We have faith in him, as we do in many other players. Substitutions are crucial to the final result.”
How is Loftus-Cheek?
“He’s a very reserved guy. He definitely has quality, and he has scored some important goals recently. He had a small problem last week and he wasn’t feeling great physically, but he’s fine now, and I’m sure he will have a great game tonight.”
Allegri decided to make six changes to the XI, putting Christian Pulisic back among other things, so it will be interesting to see if this rotation will have any effect. And if so, whether it will be positive or negative for the Rossoneri.
